Crescent Village! A small hidden village.

Located at the intersection of the borders of the two cities of Hanshuang City and Liuhe City, it is rarely known because it is inaccessible and isolated.

The village is located in the crescent-shaped belly of the Crescent Lake, surrounded by water on three sides, and there are only 17 households in the village.

Lin Xi followed Lu An into the village, did not see the archway that has always been used as a landmark, the first thing that caught his eye was the fertile land, presumably it was the farmer here who reclaimed, walked through the sheep intestine path in the field, and walked to the village, and then there was a lot of timber and grass piles, these timber and grass piles were marked with all kinds of different marks, presumably the farmers here were accumulated, and they walked through the timber and grass piles, and they saw a row of houses by the lake in the distance, living next to the water.

These houses are all made of stone, none of them are only one-story bungalows, the style is relatively simple, from the outside you can see the layout of the inner courtyard in a regular layout, the outside of the house is surrounded by wooden fences in front and back of the courtyard, the layout of the courtyard is similar, all have drying wooden racks, farming tools, livestock wooden sheds.

"Uncle Liu, Ah Rui, you are going to chop wood again", Lin Xi and the three of them caught up with the two people walking side by side in front of them, and Xiaozhu jumped up and trotted to each other's side and said.

"Xiaozhu is back, why is it so late today, it's getting dark", the middle-aged man with a log on his shoulder and an axe in his left hand next to him said, and then a little girl who was the same age as Xiaozhu and carrying a small bundle of wood asked aloud: "Huh, Xiaozhu, what about the two eight-legged beasts you brought out in the morning? Why did you come back by yourself?"

Xiao Zhu spread his hands towards the two people who came back from chopping wood and said: "Don't mention it, today's luck is back, not long after I went out with the eight-legged beast, I met the mountain ant demon beast in the mountain forest, and the two eight-legged beasts were gone like this, and in the end, there was no scum left after being eaten by these mountain ants."

"Ah, are you hurt?" the three of them stopped, and the little girl approached Xiaozhu and asked with concern.

"Shouldn't you kid go to the north string bend to graze again?" said the middle-aged man who was called Uncle Liu by Xiao Zhu sharply, as if he was a strict father and asked in a stern tone.

"Hehe, Uncle Liu...... ," Xiaozhu shouted in a coquettish tone: "I don't usually go over there to graze, I've always been safe, but I didn't expect to meet so coincidentally today, this ...... , can only be blamed for bad luck", Xiaozhu turned around and pointed to Lu An behind him and continued: "Besides, there is no Brother An, as long as Brother An is here, there will be nothing."

"You kid really don't know the height of the sky, I have warned you a long time ago, the Beixian Bend area is the range of activity of mountain ants, and there are often mountain ants and monsters, why can't you listen to persuasion", the middle-aged man said sharply, seeing Lin Xi and Lu An walking in, he shouted loudly: "An, you have to discipline this stinky boy well, if something happens to him again, how can we, the neighbors, be worthy of his father."

"Uncle Liu doesn't have to worry, the three-grade Star Luo Demon Beast Mountain Ant King in Beixian Bend has been killed, and those remaining mountain ants don't have to worry, presumably those mountain ants have already scattered everywhere after losing their leader, and they will be safe over there from now on", Lu An approached the three of them and said with a smile.

"Oh, really?" Uncle Liu was so excited that he asked again in disbelief: "Is that terrible mountain ant king really dead?" Lu An nodded with a smile and replied word by word: "Uncle Liu, it's true", Lu An politely pointed at Lin Xi and said, "Oh, this is the big hero who killed the mountain ant king to eliminate harm for the people - Lin Xi."

Uncle Liu turned his head sideways, looked Lin Xi up and down in some incredulity, and never imagined that the young man in his early twenties in front of him was actually a hero who killed the king of mountain ants.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much Lin Gongzi, really a heroic boy, this mountain ant king has harmed Crescent Lake for many years, we have always been helpless, today we finally got rid of this scourge, great", Uncle Liu was a little incoherent with excitement, put down the log on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, you must please eat, today our family invites you to dinner, Lin Gongzi really has to thank you for removing a harm from our village, today please come to our house for dinner and chat to express gratitude."

"Uncle Liu is serious, it's just a matter of raising his hands", Lin Xi politely arched his hand and said.

"Hey, it should be, it's decided, I'll go back first and ask my in-house to prepare some good wine and food, you must appreciate your face", Uncle Liu picked up the log again, happily quickened his pace and walked forward, the little girl called Ah Rui followed closely behind, didn't go far, Uncle Liu suddenly stopped and turned around, the little girl behind him was caught off guard, stroked the head that was hurt, and Uncle Liu, who stopped, shouted to the three of them: "An, Xiaozhu, you also have to come", and then walked forward again.

"This ......," Lin Xi concluded.

As if seeing what Lin Xi was thinking, Lu An said:

"Brother Lin doesn't have to feel embarrassed, there are more than a dozen families in our village, so the people in the village are like their own sisters, you are now in the village except for the scourge of the mountain ant king, presumably the news will soon spread throughout the village, you are now a veritable hero in our village."

"yes, yes," Xiao Zhu chimed in.

"Hehe, that's good, since I'm a guest, then everything will be from the master", Lin Xi arched his hand and said.

The three of them walked in the sunset and continued towards the village.

"Grandpa Niu, good evening!", came to a row of houses near the water, it was already dark, passing by the first room, saw the old man walking back and forth in the courtyard smoking and puffing smoke, Xiaozhu shouted.

When the old man heard this, he spat out the smoke ring, nodded and smiled at the small pillar, but did not speak.

"Aunt Fang, have you had dinner?", Xiao Zhu passed by one of the courtyards again, and happened to meet a woman who came out to pour water, Xiao Zhu smiled and shouted at the woman.

"Well, Xiaozhu is really well-behaved, my aunt has already eaten, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, come to my house to eat", the woman smiled and greeted warmly, and deliberately stepped forward to pull Xiaozhu into the house.

"Auntie, no, I told Uncle Liu that I would go to his house for dinner with Brother An and them later", Xiaozhu awkwardly avoided the woman and said with a smile, as if he greeted the woman too enthusiastically, as if he had expected to think about the conversation, and blurted out this prevarication.

"Yo, I'm going to see your little daughter-in-law again, I'm really not ashamed, you're still early," the woman said jokingly.

"I didn't ...... , no, aunt, you are talking nonsense again", Xiao Zhu's little face instantly turned red with shame, and shouted at the woman.

"Yo hey, Ann, have you seen it, our little pillar has grown up, and he still knows that he is shy, hehe", the woman said to Lu An, covering her mouth and chuckling.

"Hehe, yes, Fang...... , No, Sister Fang", Lu An replied embarrassedly, as if she was very restrained in front of this woman.

"Aunt Fang, let's go first, we haven't gone home yet", seeing this, Xiaozhu hurriedly pulled Lu An away, Lu An arched his hand towards the woman, and continued to walk forward.

"It seems that you all seem to be quite afraid of this Aunt Fang", Lin Xi said jokingly, and the three of them chatted as they walked.

"Yes, Aunt Fang wants to have a relationship with my brother An, and often says that I am a couple with A Rui, and I hate it", Xiaozhu said first, stunned Lu An, who had just opened his mouth to answer, was shocked and didn't say anything, a little, Lu An said: "Brother Lin, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, in fact, this Aunt Fang is very good, but there is no one in this radius of hundreds of miles, and the population in the village is limited, and he has never been married, so he will be too old", glanced at Xiaozhu, and then said: " However, she is very benevolent, and her attitude towards life is also very optimistic and funny.

"Oh, isn't Xiaozhu ......", Lin Xi said in surprise when he heard this, Lu An saw that Lin Xi wanted to speak and stopped, and nodded at him.

"Cut, I'm an orphan, is it so hard to say, look at you two are so mysterious", Xiao Zhu walked between the two of them, patted his chest and said.

"Hehe, our Xiaozhu is very much like Aunt Fang, optimistic and cheerful, if someone says that you are her child, no one will doubt it", Lu An stroked Xiaozhu's head and said with a smile.

"Nonsense, who is her child, she wants to recognize me as her son, I still don't agree", Xiao Zhuyi raised his head and said with his mouth raised.

Lu An looked down at Xiao Zhu with an indifferent expression, and naturally understood that this was a faint pain in his heart that could never be erased, and slowly raised his head to look at Lin Xi, and said:

"Xiao Zhu's parents died when he was very young, when a demonic beast sneak attacked the village", the three of them continued to move forward: "That was before I came to the village, when I came, Xiao Zhu was already able to run all over the mountain", thinking of the past, Lu An couldn't help but smile shallowly from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe, since Brother An came, our village has been much safer, and we don't have to worry about being attacked by demonic beasts, my Brother An is very powerful, very, very powerful", Xiao Zhu interjected on the side, his face full of pride and admiration.

"Yes, since I came, I have been haunted by you troublemaker", Lu An said teasingly.

The three of them walked past a house in the middle of the village near the water, and the courtyard of the house was pitch black.

"Brother Lin, look, this is my house", Xiao Zhu said, pointing to the dark house, but he didn't turn around and enter the hospital, still walking forward.

Lin Xi saw Xiao Zhu continue to move forward, although he had a little doubt in his heart, he didn't ask too much, and moved to follow and continue to walk forward.

After a while, the three of them came to the last house at the end of the village, and Lu An took a few steps forward and walked towards the courtyard.

"Brother Lin, please come in, this is my house", Lu An stood at the door of the courtyard, stood aside, and invited Lin Xi to enter.

At this time, there was no light inside or outside the house, and everything in the courtyard could be seen clearly through the moonlight.
